  • Grinding: We offer diamond grinding, a cutting-edge pavement preservation technique that uses diamond-embedded blades to remove a thin layer of concrete or asphalt surface. This process smooths out irregularities, enhances traction, reduces road noise, and extends the lifespan of your pavement.

    • Corrective Profile Grinding | Curb and Gutter Grinding

    Grooving: Grooving is essential for bridge decks, roads, and runways as it enhances skid resistance, improves water drainage, reduces tire-pavement noise, and extends pavement life. This technique ensures safer travel by minimizing the risk of skidding and hydroplaning, while also providing better vehicle control and reducing maintenance costs.

    • Runway Grooving | Runway Re-Grooving | Bridge Deck Grooving

    Enhanced Safety:
    Grooving increases skid resistance, reducing the risk of accidents on wet surfaces.

    Improved Performance:
    Grinding smooths out surface imperfections, enhancing ride quality and reducing tire noise.

    Applications:
    Perfect for highways, runways, bridge decks, and industrial flooring.

  • Cross- and slot-stitching reinforce longitudinal cracks and joints in concrete pavements by inserting steel tie bars that lock slabs together and limit movement. Cross-stitching secures bars in angled drilled holes, while slot-stitching embeds them in narrow surface slots.

    Strength and Stability:

    These methods restore load transfer, control crack widening, and extend pavement life when used on joints and cracks that are still in fair condition.

    Applications:

    Commonly used on highways, city streets, airport pavements, industrial yards, and other concrete surfaces with longitudinal cracking or weakened joints. Ideal for extending service life without full replacement, especially in high-traffic areas where maintaining smoothness and stability is critical. Not recommended for transverse cracks or joints.

  • Dowel Bar Retrofit / Load Transfer

    Dowel bar retrofit restores proper load transfer across joints and cracks in concrete pavements by inserting steel dowels into precisely cut slots. This strengthens the connection between slabs, distributes traffic loads evenly, and reduces stress that leads to faulting and cracking.

    Efficiency and Durability:

    The process extends pavement life, improves ride quality, and lowers long-term maintenance costs by reinforcing structural performance without full reconstruction.

    Applications:

    Ideal for highways, arterial roads, and other high-traffic concrete pavements where smoothness, strength, and longevity are critical.

  • Depth Repair (Concrete Patching)
    Depth repair restores damaged concrete pavement by removing and replacing either the surface layer (partial depth) or the entire slab section (full depth), depending on the severity of deterioration. Partial depth repairs address surface-level issues like spalling and minor cracking, while full depth repairs correct major structural failures such as broken slabs or full-depth cracks. Both methods extend pavement life, prevent water intrusion, and restore a smooth, durable, and load-bearing surface.

    Efficiency and Longevity:
    Depth repair is faster and more cost-effective than full replacement, targeting only the damaged areas while preserving sound pavement. Properly executed, it provides long-lasting performance and minimizes disruption.

    Applications:
    Ideal for highways, intersections, industrial pavements, and other high-traffic concrete surfaces requiring durable, structural restoration.

  • Rotomilling, also known as cold planing, involves removing the surface layer of asphalt or concrete using a specialized milling machine with a rotating drum fitted with cutting teeth. This process grinds and removes pavement to a specified depth, preparing the surface for a new overlay, correcting imperfections, and recycling old pavement materials.

    Surface Preparation:

    Rotomilling creates a smooth and even surface that is ideal for applying new pavement overlays, ensuring better adhesion and longer-lasting results.

    Precision and Efficiency:

    Modern milling machines allow for precise control over the depth and area of pavement removal, making the process efficient and minimizing disruption to traffic.

    Applications:

    Ideal for roadway resurfacing, runway maintenance, urban roads, rural roads, and parking lots.

  • Rehabilitation and repair of saw-cut joints in PCC pavements are essential for maintaining longevity and integrity. Unequal wheel load transfer can cause stress and cracking, while incompressible materials in the joints can lead to spalling. Using sealants keeps out these materials and water, ensuring a level and durable surface.

    Efficiency:

    Rapid rehabilitation to minimize downtime and maximize pavement life.

    Stress Reduction:

    Proper joint maintenance reduces stress and prevents cracking and spalling.

    Applications:

    Suitable for roads, parking lots, and industrial pavements.

    Durability:

    Ensures long-lasting performance and safety by preventing damage from incompressible materials and water.

  • Our curb and gutter grinding services target the edges of the road, particularly where the pavement meets the curbs and gutters. Grinding the face of the curb and the surface of the gutter ensures a smooth transition, reducing costs associated with snow plow strikes and preventing equipment damage. By addressing disruptions in the gutter grade line caused by heaving and settling, particularly at drainage structures, our services enhance the longevity and safety of your roadways.

    Precision:

    Achieve smooth transitions and reduce equipment damage.

    Efficiency:

    Quick, cost-effective grinding with minimal disruption.

    Applications:

    Roadway edges, curbs, gutters, and drainage structures.
